PERRLA Rap Video
The Paper Hatin' Continues, Fo Shizzle!
We wrote a rap song (Paper Hatin') and asked our customers to make a music video
of the song. While the official rap video contest has concluded and we've given away a couple of
iPads and amazon.com gift cards - the fun isn’t over.
We've taken your video clips (and ours) and have created THE official Paper
Hatin' mash-up video for YouTube! Check it out, below.

About Mike Coates...
Who the heck is Mike Coates?!
Mike Coates has become our friend - and he's the guy who actually recorded the lead vocal of our song, Paper Hatin'.
We put an ad on craigslist, looking for a rapper, and one of Mike's friends saw
the ad. Thankfully, his friend encouraged Mike to contact us! Mike is a singer-songwriter
and did an amazing job on Paper Hatin'. Not only was he GREAT at what we asked him to do, he was also
a lot of fun to work with.
He didn't even complain when we made him rap in a pink Polo shirt. Try getting any other rapper to make a rap video in a pink Polo shirt! Bad things will happen.
For a sample of Mike's singing ability, check out his YouTube channel HERE.
